Will this sickness end?

I have been going through a tough week. I wasn't feeling so hot last Friday at work. I made a comment to my coworker that I hope I wasn't getting sick because my throat was sore all of a sudden. That night I started to feel worse. Late in the evening I had a fever and chills. My first thought was, oh no, this can't be the swine flu! I have too much going on to be sick! Saturday morning, my loving husband took care of Channing and let me sleep in...until noon. I had a runny nose, sore throat, raspy voice...I felt awful! That afternoon I felt better after downing some Tylenol Cold & taking a shower. We took Channing with his Nana & Pops to Northlake Mall for his first pair of shoes from Stride Rite (I have to post some pictures later). When we got back that night, I had a fever again. I took some Tylenol. I slept in most of the day on Sunday and went to the doctor on Monday. He said I have one of three things--strep throat, croup, or swine flu. Oh, great! They did a strep test and it was negative, which left croup and swine flu. The doctor said there was no time to test for swine flu and there wasn't really a test for croup. He said I most likely have croup but he' s going to treat me for swine flu as a precaution. He also said I couldn't return to work until Thursday! I have been taking it easy the past few days and have been taking my medicine. Hope I feel better soon!
